I have never heard of this magazine, but I can provide a bit of perspective. Loch Lomond is one of very few quality courses in the United Kingdom that restricts outside play to almost nil. As such, it has acquired a certain cachet of exclusivity almost akin to Augusta or Pine Valley in the states. I would imagine that with the upcoming reduction in the number of members, that impression will only be compounded.
Of course, all of this hubub has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of the golf course.
